“Joel and Ethan Coen have frequently explored classic movie genres, usually through the prism of a particular era. The Big Lebowski is a wise-ass riff on detective stories, but it’s also an examination of the cultural wasteland of the early 90s. The Man Who Wasn’t There is a noir about the noir era; O Brother Where Art Thou is a musical about the 30s, and so on. The brothers’ latest, A Serious Man, finds them off in their own headspace more than usual, making another era-pastiche for the late 60s, this time they’vemixed with their version of profound philosophical inquiry.” More »
